Teaching with us means learning together
All children learn together longer ...
...regardless of whether your child has a Hauptschule recommendation or could attend a Realschule or Gymnasium based on grades, ...in 5th grade everyone starts together in a class group.
From Year 7 onwards, pupils can then choose other subjects according to their interests and aptitude. Even then, mathematics and English are taught at different levels (basic and advanced level). German is differentiated in the comprehensive school from Year 8 at the earliest. At the same time, further options are added from year 8 onwards and in year 9 there is additional subject differentiation in the natural sciences.
Learning together does not mean that everyone learns the same thing! The learning content is adapted to the individual abilities of the pupils.
At the end of Year 10, the pupils have achieved their first school-leaving certificate. They can then move into the world of work or continue to attend school in order to aim for the Abitur.
Gronau Comprehensive School will establish its own three-year upper school.
The longer learning together creates the prerequisite that children have "longer" time to develop and consolidate their abilities and talents.
